hi mark, i make my own i got a 75litre bag of peat moss, for about £5. and mix my own sharp sand and perlite. I put all my carnivorous plants in the greenhouse now for winter. You do know they will really appreciate a cold winter. down to -5 and colder. Don't try and keep it as a house plant all year round. It must rest, or it will not make it through next year. They only ones i keep in the house over winter are the monkey cups.

Hi ZG, Mine is in the garage up against the window surrounded by polystyrene seed trays to throw back the light. Its been in there since end of Sept, seems to like it. I did not want it in the GH during an Aberdeen winter, can get down to -10, I kid you not.

I keep it moist with rain water. Question, if I every run out of rain water in the summer, what do I use?

Sounds like a perfect spot for the winter Mark . I would not recommend tap water at all. Though you would see no immediate issues in the plants health, the chemicals build in the soil over time. If I bring a new carnivorous plant home I like to repot them the same day just to get as much of the old soil off, as i'm not sure what water they have been given.

Thanks ZG, I have been reading up about carnivorous plants. I bought this one who I have named 'Audrey II' start of last summer, and was on active service in the GH. It caught quite a few things even crane flies!

I'm thinking of getting a few more next year to put around the GH, kind of like a green minefield I have seen a website for a company in Hampshire, I'll give them ago.

They must be the ones who had the amazing stand at Chelsea this year (I didn't go, but I must have seen it on the news or something) - I would love to have a huge collection of them, but I think I'd better learn how not to kill the things in the garden and my three house plants first!
